* '''Subverted''': Bob the Hero yells the line, a bolt of lightning strikes... but at several meters from where Bob stands. [[HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi He then starts laughing maniacally, declaring that The Powers That Be doesn't exist.]]

* He yells the line. He is struck by lightning, but not killed. He awakens, burnt, scarred, and damned, with the BlackSpeech [[MarkOfTheBeast etched into his flesh declaring him as such]].
** He screams the line at the heavens... and absolutely nothing happens.
